In attempting a description of the School System as carried out in this institution, I am undertaking a task the accomplishment of which I feel at the outset must be very imperfect indeed; but considering how often I have had to answer such questions as the following—“What is the use of a school for lunatics?” “What can you possibly teach them?” I think it is due to my position to describe as well as my abilities permit our system, inviting at the same time all interested in the welfare of the insane to come and see for themselves its beneficial influences.
